OMS! VS motorized must be incredibly noisy! Kate's shuttle is just sloppy. There's no adjustment to decrease the space for movement so I guess I must live with the noise.
A year ago, I fixed my MIL's A2 VS New Home for their 50th anniversary. Compared to my National Alvah, it was a dream. Quiet, smooth and so easy to treadle. When I got this treadle, I expected the same results. So much so that my Alvah has been relegated to the "wreck room".
The New Home Climax has been a disappointment. Noisy, finicky and quirky seem to be the best words to describe her. Yes, she may be having a fits for being in the shop but she needs to get over it or back she goes!!!
